wiring help, + rep to anyone
SO heres the deal, stealth box. intend to have a iec connector socket (computer plug one)

from which i will have two 12v dc fans wire and a cfl 100watt bulb.
But i need to know how to wire this safely, and i have taken this socket from a pc power pack and it has a few capacitors and resistors over its terminals, should theese be removed?

Not exactly sure what you're asking here. If its just how to wire a pc fan it's easy. Cut the connector off the fan, go to radio shack and buy a dc power converter that matches the amperage printed on the fan.

If possible strip out all the capacitors and everything so your just left with a direct transfer. Then solder on the appropriate wires and run them to a basic electrical outlet inside the box. Use electrical tape on all the connections and make sure they dont wiggle or if the unit is wiggled it doesnt bridge any gaps.
but really? if someone is looking THAT hard at your computer case, they already know what it is or at least that it isnt legit. i would personally just hollow out that connector and run an extension cord through it. Find a black one and cut of the male end of the plug then cut it in half(longways), hollow it out a bit and run your extension cord through it. What your asking otherwise just isnt going to be that safe even if you do it right.

if you plan on wiring pc fans and cfls to that connector,stop,smoke one,go buy a premade tent.
no offence but you have no understanding of electrical work & will be a hazzard without several hundred hours of reading.
Where are we going & what am I doing in a handbasket?

hmmm, cheers guys, think i might just run power strip through, easiest way to convert the ac to dc. its actually for a speaker box so would look ok i guess if i had a gromet around it
-
just use a cell phone charger for your fans... its what i do and it works great
-
tape can make a nice gromet.
